Fair use for Indian Airlines Flight 814[edit]

Though this image is subject to copyright, its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws, and the stricter requirements of Wikipedia's non-free content policies, because:

  1. It is a historically significant photo of a significant event — the hijacking of IC-814. It is one of the few images that depicts Taliban patrolling the area near the hijacked airplane and has been used in several articles covering the issue.
  2. It is of much lower resolution than the original. Copies made from it will be of very inferior quality.
  3. The photo is only being used for informational purposes.
  4. Its inclusion in the article adds significantly to the article because the photo and its historical significance are the object of discussion in the article.
